After being hunted down and beaten to death by the Empress Yin, the Evil King miraculously came back to life, truly comprehending the mysteries of life and death, and breaking through to the Grandmaster realm in one fell swoop.
It is said that the Heavenly Blade broke through to the next level simply by comprehending the Dao. At that time, everyone within a radius of dozens of miles had a single, resounding cry from their swords, signifying their attainment of the Grandmaster level.
Now, no one knows what the identity of this grandmaster who later unleashed his power is! With curiosity in his heart, his pace naturally quickened.
"war!"
After discovering that Lin Yang was a genuine Grandmaster, Qu Ao became even more determined, and his aura rose once again.
He stretched out his hands, transforming them into eagle claws, and with a gentle grab, the pavilion beneath his feet was lifted up. Hundreds of tiles instantly began to spin, hurtling towards Lin Yang in some strange pattern.
At the same time, with a slight movement of its feet, it moved faster than anyone else, arriving in front of Lin Yang before the tiles even reached him. A claw struck towards his neck.
Then, the two began to fight. Qu Ao was dressed in a yellow robe, and Lin Yang in a black robe. The two transformed into two storms, one yellow and one black, each standing on a pillar of the pavilion, constantly clashing.
Among them, the yellow figure would occasionally unleash a powerful aura, while the black figure, except at the beginning, remained unremarkable, as bland as plain water.
Seeing this, Dugu Feng said directly, "It seems that this senior in black robes is destined to win."
Upon hearing this, Kou Zhong quickly asked, "Why? Doesn't the yellow robe look better?"
"Although it seems that Huangpao has the upper hand, he has been constantly unleashing his power from the beginning until now, and he has been fighting desperately. This level of power makes him comparable to a Grandmaster for a short time, but how long can he maintain this?" Hou Xibai said calmly.
At the same time, Lin Yang was also constantly observing Qu Ao's fortune.
The aura of fortune was still surging, but the sea of fortune clouds above was almost empty. What was originally yellow had now turned pale yellow. Before long, it would run out of fortune and be killed by its own attack.
If he were the protagonist, perhaps with the help of God, he could take this opportunity to break through to the Grandmaster level. However, it is obvious that Qu Ao is not!

Chapter 84: If all the shavings I've taken off were laid end to end, they could circle the Earth!
bump!
With a loud collision, the two were separated again. Brushing the dust off his clothes, Lin Yang remained calm and said, "Not bad, that's more like the spirit of a soaring eagle. Just now, you weren't an eagle in the sky at all, you were just a chicken."
Immediately afterward, Lin Yang shook his head and said in a condescending tone, "These young people nowadays, once they've gained some skill, they start to disrespect their elders. Young man, do you know that if all the hairs I've shaved off were laid end to end, they could circle the Earth?!"
While speaking, he kept shaking his head and swaying his body, with one hand placed behind his back, giving the impression that he was doing this for his own good.
"Hehe, this senior is really interesting." Dugu Feng said with a smile.
Lin Yang sounds quite impressive at this moment, but what's the reality? "A young man with no beard is unreliable." He doesn't even have a beard, yet he keeps calling himself a young man—what's he bragging about?
However, just as the two separated again, the people below finally recognized their identities.
"Who is this barbarian?" Kou Zhong asked, his anger barely contained.
Upon hearing this, Hou Xibai gave a wry smile and explained, "This person is Flying Eagle Qu Ao, and also the master of the three people you just killed."
"Kou Zhong, who is this young senior? It seems like you know him?" Dugu Feng turned around and asked directly.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding onlookers all realized what was happening. Indeed, Kou Zhong had just killed three of Qu Ao's disciples, and now Qu Ao was being stopped by Lin Yang. It was impossible for Kou Zhong not to recognize him.
“Yes, Kou Zhong, if you know anything, just say it,” Wanwan, who had appeared out of nowhere, suddenly said.
At this moment, Wanwan's expression was solemn as she carefully watched the exchange between the two. As one of the most skilled martial artists among them, she could naturally see the fight between Lin Yang and Wanwan clearly.
How could it be possible that she didn't recognize such a grandmaster who suddenly appeared! Considering the rumors about the Guangcheng Immortal Sect that were spreading like wildfire in nearby Yangzhou City, Wanwan already had some guesses in her mind.
"Hehe, even Sister Wan doesn't know this. Since that's the case, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll tell you. This person in black robes is one of the three True Persons from my Guangcheng Immortal Sect who have entered the mortal world this time—True Person Tianxuan." Kou Zhong said proudly.
"Guangcheng Immortal Sect?" This was Shi Feixuan's reaction.
"Choosing an emperor on behalf of Heaven?" That was Li Shimin's reaction!
"Grandmasters? Three True Immortals?" This was Wanwan's reaction.
"To live forever and live as long as the heavens!" This was the reaction of the onlookers.
"Hiss!" That's the reaction of the extra.
"Since you call yourself a hawk, then I'll also take out a set of hawk claws and give you some pointers. Hawks soar through the skies, using the sky as their battlefield, fighting tirelessly day and night, feeding on all things. When they're in high spirits, they can travel thousands of miles; when they're done, they can still intimidate all other birds. Kid, watch closely!" Lin Yang said casually.
Upon hearing this, Qu Ao was immediately delighted. In his opinion, Lin Yang was being overly arrogant, completely using his weaknesses against his strengths. In this way, he might actually have a chance of winning.
However, just by thinking about it, Qu Ao, who was originally determined to die, and whose perfectly composed mindset was instantly revealed to have a flaw.
Who would want to die if they could live? And if one has hope in their heart, how could they possibly unleash their full martial arts skills to the twelfth level as they did just now?
Then, looking at Lin Yang's mocking smile, Qu Ao realized that he had been tricked. It was just a simple mind game, and the result of this round of mental combat was that he was completely defeated.
Immediately afterward, before Qu Ao could react, Lin Yang made his move. His unified and abundant true energy erupted instantly.
In that instant, seven-colored light appeared around Lin Yang. This seven-colored light was none other than the seven attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yin and yang corresponding to the seven volumes of the Longevity Manual.
"Qu Ao, prepare to die!"
In that loud shout, Lin Yang subtly employed many techniques typically used by scholars. These included instigation—no, it should be called persuasion—and a righteous aura appeared silently.
This imperial edict, or legal decree, was a common tool used by scholars. Some used it to restrain, some to command, and some to deliver a wake-up call.
As for Lin Yang, he used it to trick people quite effectively. If it were Qu Ao at his peak, when his luck was at its best, even if he were truly bewitched, the chances of success would probably be slim.
However, in Lin Yang's observation, Qu Ao's luck had already plummeted to its lowest point. This meant that he was in a situation where he would choke even on cold water. Therefore, using Confucian bewitching techniques at this moment would naturally increase the success rate significantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Ao felt that everything before him had changed. In just an instant, the surrounding situation had undergone a tremendous transformation, as if the sea had turned into mulberry fields.
At this moment, Qu Ao felt that the sky was full of claw shadows. Among these claw shadows were battle-hardened eagles that, although their bodies were old, were still full of fighting spirit, as well as fledgling eagles that had just been born and were constantly learning to fly, and eagles that, in their prime, wanted to compete with the heavens.
